What do you think? (First pic has one light done, one not.)

Personally I think it look horrible, it makes the lights look dirty, - probably reduces the effectiveness also.
It is not as bad as the ridculous dark tinting of the rear indicators and brake lights - but, is not good.. However, opinions are like buttholes, everyone has one - that is just mine... :cool:

The tinting of rear lights is absolutely dangerous and in my opinion totally stupid. Not that you are doing that from the pictures.. ;)
 
Sorry mate, I have to to agree with Cap here. I don't like how tinted lights look and why would you want to reduce the effectiveness of a basic safety feature :confused:?

If anything, the standard headlights on the Panda aren't that great to begin with (especially compared to some more modern cars).

That said, as mentioned above, that's just my opinion, I'm sure others think it looks great and I guess you could compensate for the reduced light output with uprated bulbs.
 
Wasn't expecting those comments! Wow, maybe I should look closer to see if I should actually remove the tints.
I kind of assumed it looked great and everybody else would agree!
Anyone else have comments for or against?
Thanks for the input guys! Honesty IS the best policy, especially when asking for opinions! (y)

Hi Matt, I nearly wrote of a Suzuki swift who hammered on in front of me the the other day - all boy racer stripes - stupid rubber band tyres and blacked out lights / windows - along with boom boom rap bang **** music - couldn't see his damn brake lights and indicators at all with the sun and the stupid 'cool' paint or whatever it was - He nearly had his back to front hat inserted in his after oriface...:(
He didnt understand the queen's english, but he fully understood what my grabbing him by the throat was for .... and yes, the ABS works well on the Dynamic...:D

It's nothing against you, I loved what you did when you painted the black plastic parts of your car blue, that looks great :)!

I'm just not a fan of tinted lights, either aesthetically or from a safety perspective. Just imagine if you couldn't see someone who had stepped out into the road because the throw of your headlights had been reduced. I know if that was me I'd never be able to forgive myself, even if the lights were technically legal.

Well, here's more honesty.. (y)
That is a really nice looking car you have, the colour is superb. rather than tint headlights, give it a damn good polish and buff up the gloss to a deep shine - it will be ace.. also the windows, spotless inside and out, along with mint wheels (clean and sparkling covers and clean tyres) - really make a car look good, and you have a great colour to start with.
